The weather looked a little uncertain at the
start of the meeting at White City but managed to stay dry.
Once again I was surprised to see such a field of Midgets
for a Wednesday. Twenty-six Midgets in all lined up for the
first race of the evening which really looked spectacular.
It turned out to be a real "butchers chopper" of a race with
quite a nasty turn over on the bottom bend. Dick Waldock (M11)
tangled with Jim Gosbee (M16) with Jim turning over. The Yellow
flag went out along with the Control Car until the drivers
had been removed from their cars and the race was then continued
and ended in a win for Roland Parker (M18) from Rod Tanswell,
with Frank Boyles in third spot.
The second race of the evening was an out
and out duel between Rod Tanswell and Frank Boyles finishing
in a win for Rod Tanswell with Frank Boyles second and Bill
Boarer in third place with his nicely prepared home-produced
Midget.
The final of the evening was again won by
Rod Tanswell with Frank Boyles in second place and Julian
Bye (M6) from East Anglia finishing in third place. All in
all some fine Midget racing to thrill the crowd. Ii was nice
to see Colin Byrne (M2) out in his new Midget. He did not
have much success on the whole, but I can forsee the car being
very quick when he gets it sorted out.
